Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of breeding equipment technology, specifically to a rabbit feeding system that can automatically recycle leftover feed. Background Technology
[0002] In large-scale rabbit farming, the feeding system is one of the core pieces of equipment for ensuring the healthy growth of rabbits and improving breeding efficiency. However, traditional feeding systems generally have a serious shortcoming: they focus too much on the feed delivery process and pay insufficient attention to the handling of leftover feed after feeding. In actual breeding, due to various factors such as differences in feed palatability and individual rabbit eating habits, a certain amount of feed will always remain in the feeding trough. If this leftover feed is not collected in time, it will not only waste feed resources and significantly increase breeding costs, but it will also quickly mold and deteriorate in the feeding trough, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria and pests. This undoubtedly poses a serious threat to the health of rabbits, causing various diseases and ultimately leading to a significant decline in breeding efficiency. Currently, some simple feed recycling methods exist on the market. For example, a leftover feed collection container is installed at the end of a long feeding trough. After the rabbits eat, the feed conveyor continues to move forward, and the feed remaining on the conveyor falls into the leftover feed collection container from the end of the long feeding trough. This recycling method requires manual cleaning and recycling of the feed collected in the leftover feed collection container periodically, and then putting it back into the storage bin. This is inefficient and cannot guarantee the timeliness and thoroughness of feed recycling, failing to meet the fast-paced demands of large-scale farming. Although some feeding systems have attempted to use mechanical devices for feed recycling, most suffer from problems such as complex structures, unsatisfactory recycling effects, and susceptibility to clogging, failing to meet the stringent requirements of modern rabbit farming for high efficiency and stability.
[0003] In addition, existing rabbit feeding systems have the following shortcomings: 1. Traditional rabbit feeding systems have revealed numerous problems requiring solutions during long-term operation. Firstly, feed dust is inevitably generated during transport due to friction between feed particles and collisions with the feed belt. Over time, this dust not only hinders smooth feed delivery and reduces efficiency but also breeds bacteria in humid environments, contaminating the feed and posing a serious threat to rabbit health. Secondly, the continuous operation of the feed belt can also negatively impact the normal operation of the equipment, necessitating regular cleaning and maintenance. Currently, feed belt cleaning relies primarily on manual labor, which is not only costly in terms of manpower and time but also often yields unsatisfactory results. Manual cleaning is insufficient for comprehensive and meticulous cleaning, failing to meet the stringent requirements of modern, high-efficiency farming for equipment cleanliness and stability.
[0004] 2. Existing rabbit feeding systems use feed belts to deliver feed to each rabbit cage. However, in actual use, these feed belts are prone to slack, affecting the stability and accuracy of feed delivery. Furthermore, after feeding, excess feed often remains on the feed belts. If this feed is not collected promptly, it not only leads to waste but may also pollute the breeding environment. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example:
[0020] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, the rabbit feeding system capable of automatically recovering leftover feed described in this embodiment includes several feeding cages 28, a front support 8, a rear support 19, a feed storage bin 5 for storing feed, a long, narrow feeding trough 31 located below the front side of the feeding cages 28, and a feeding belt disposed within the feeding trough 31; the front and rear ends of the feeding trough 31 are fixedly connected to the front support 8 and the rear support 19, respectively; the feed storage bin 5 is fixed to the front support 8; the front support 8 is also equipped with an automatic feed return device; the automatic feed return device is located below the feed storage bin 5 and includes: Feeding box 1: Used to collect feed returned from the feed conveyor belt; Return feed auger: used to send the returned feed in the receiving box 1 to the storage bin 5; Drive mechanism: Provides power for the forward and reverse operation of the feed belt and the operation of the return auger.
[0021] Specifically, the return feed auger includes a transverse auger 2 and a longitudinal auger 7. The end of the transverse auger 2 is connected to the bottom of the longitudinal auger 7, and the top surface of the end of the transverse auger 2 is provided with a feed inlet 15. The bottom opening of the receiving box 1 is fixedly connected to the feed inlet 15. Preferably, the bottom surface of the end of the transverse auger 2 is evenly provided with material residue filter holes 16, and the material residue mixed in the return feed falls from the material residue filter holes 16 into the material residue collection trough 14 below. The top of the longitudinal auger 7 is provided with a discharge port 7A. As a preferred embodiment, the top of the longitudinal auger 7 is evenly provided with three rectangular discharge ports 7A, which can make the return feed enter the storage bin 5 more evenly and smoothly.
[0022] The lower part of the storage bin 5 is inverted cone shape, and a discharge port 17 is fixed at its bottom opening. The discharge port 17 is connected to the inlet of the discharge auger 18. The discharge port of the discharge auger 18 is fixed with a discharge nozzle. The inlet end of the discharge auger 18 is connected to a discharge drive motor.
[0023] The drive mechanism includes a transverse return motor 3 that drives the transverse auger 2, a drive motor 9 that drives the feed belt to run in both directions and drives the longitudinal auger 7, and a reducer 10. The reducer 10 is provided with a first drive wheel 11 and a second drive wheel 12. The first drive wheel 11 is connected to the feed belt power roller 4. The bottom end of the longitudinal auger 7 is equipped with a driven wheel 13 through a one-way bearing. The second drive wheel 12 is connected to the driven wheel 13.
[0024] A protective cover 30 is fixed below the storage silo. The drive mechanisms of the lower parts of the feeding auger 18, the transverse auger 2, and the longitudinal auger 7 are all located inside the protective cover 30. The feeding end of the feed trough 31 extends into the protective cover 30. A drawer-type feed collection trough 14 is provided below the protective cover 30. Feed filter holes 16 are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the end of the transverse auger 2. Feed particles fall into the feed collection trough 14 through the feed filter holes 16.
[0025] In practice, the longitudinal auger 7 penetrates into the storage bin 5 from the side wall of the conical cavity at the bottom of the storage bin 5. When feeding the rabbit cages, the feed in the storage bin 5 falls into the feeding auger 18 through the feed outlet 17; when feeding the rabbits, the feeding drive motor drives the feeding auger 18, and the feed in the storage bin 5 falls onto the feeding belt through the discharge nozzle; the drive motor 9 drives the feeding belt power roller 4 to rotate forward through the first drive wheel 11 of the reducer 10, thereby driving the feeding belt to run forward along the feeding trough 31, feeding each rabbit cage in the feeding cage 28 for the rabbits to eat. Since the driven wheel 13 is mounted on the bottom end of the power shaft of the longitudinal auger 7 through a one-way bearing, the driven wheel rotates freely during the feeding process, and the auger shaft does not rotate. After the rabbit finishes eating, the drive motor 9 drives the feed belt power roller 4 to rotate in the opposite direction through the first drive wheel 11 of the reducer 10, thereby driving the feed belt to run in the opposite direction along the long feed trough and returning the remaining feed to the receiving box 1; the transverse return motor 3 drives the transverse auger 2 to run, sending the returned feed to the longitudinal auger 7, and the second drive wheel 12 of the reducer 10 drives the longitudinal auger 7 to run through the driven wheel 13, sending the returned feed to its top, and entering the storage bin 5 evenly and smoothly from the discharge port 6.
[0026] In other embodiments, the transverse auger 2 can be omitted, and the receiving box 1 can be directly fixedly connected to the bottom feed inlet of the longitudinal auger 7, so that the returned feed can directly enter the longitudinal auger 7, and then the longitudinal auger 7 can send the feed back to the storage bin 5.
[0027] like Figure 7 As shown, the bottom plate of the feeding trough 31 is evenly provided with several strip-shaped feed leakage holes 32 along its length, and the two ends of the feed leakage holes 32 are connected to the two side walls of the feeding trough 31. Feed dust generated during feeding and eating can fall promptly through the feed leakage holes 32 as the feeding belt moves, which not only prevents feed dust from accumulating in the feeding trough 31, reducing the risk of feed spoilage and maintaining the freshness of the feed in the feeding trough 31, which is beneficial to the healthy eating of rabbits, but also ensures the smooth operation of the feeding belt, allowing for a uniform supply of feed, providing a guarantee for the balanced growth and development of rabbits, while also reducing the difficulty of cleaning.
[0028] A feed trough 33 is installed at the end of the feed trough 31 that extends into the protective cover 30. The feed trough 33 is inverted U-shaped and fits inside the port of the feed trough 31, with its side walls conforming to the shape of the side walls of the feed trough 31 port. A fastening frame 29 is fixed on the top surface of the feed trough 33. The fastening frame 29 is bow-shaped and fits upside down on the feed trough 33, with its top fixedly connected to the feed trough 33. It has 90° bent edges on both sides, which are used to connect with the front support 8. After feeding, the remaining feed on the feeding belt needs to be returned. When the drive mechanism drives the feeding belt to run in reverse to return the feed, the feed trough 33 can effectively prevent the returned feed from splashing outward, greatly reducing feed waste, lowering breeding costs, and also helping to maintain the hygiene of the breeding area.
[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 , Figure 6 As shown, the rear support 19 is provided with a tail end tensioning and material collection device, which includes a tensioning mechanism and a material collection mechanism.
[0030] The tensioning mechanism includes a fixed frame, two movable blocks 20, and two adjusting screws 22. The fixed frame includes two fixed frames 21, left and right. Sliding grooves are provided on the opposite surfaces of the upper and lower frames of the fixed frames 21. The two movable blocks 20 are respectively assembled within the two fixed frames 21, with the top and bottom of each movable block 20 engaging with the sliding grooves 21A of the upper and lower frames of the fixed frames 21. An adjusting nut 22B is fixed to the middle of the rear frame of each movable block 20. The two adjusting screws 22 are respectively installed within the two fixed frames 21. The front end of the adjusting screw 22 passes through the rear frame of the movable block 20 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting nut 22B. The tail end of the adjusting screw 22 passes through the rear frame of the fixed frame 21, and a limit block 22A is fixed to its outer end. A feed belt driven roller 25, a tensioning roller 26, and a brush roller 27 for cleaning the feed belt are also installed between the two movable blocks 20. The brush roller 27 is located below the descending feed belt.
[0031] The material collection mechanism includes a waste material collection box 23 located below the tensioning mechanism. The waste material collection box 23 has a right-angled trapezoidal shape on its sides and an open top. At least two hanging ears 23C are provided on the top edges of the left and right side walls respectively. The waste material collection box 23 is fastened to the bottom edges of the left and right fixed frames 21 by the hanging ears 23C on the top of the left and right side walls. The rear of the waste material collection box 23 is provided with a lifting door 23A. The rear of the two side walls of the waste material collection box 23 is provided with door tracks 23B respectively. The left and right sides of the lifting door 23A are inserted into the door tracks 23B on both sides from top to bottom.
[0032] Before the rabbit feeding system is put into operation, the left and right adjusting screws 22 are manually rotated according to the tension of the feeding belt. This causes the moving blocks 20 on both sides to move backward along the slide 21A, thereby driving the driven roller 25, tension roller 26, and brush roller 27 of the feeding belt to move backward, appropriately tightening the feeding belt to ensure that it does not loosen during operation. During feeding, the feeding belt transports feed normally. After feeding is completed, the feed remaining on the feeding belt will fall into the waste feed collection box 23 under the action of gravity (in this embodiment, the upper layer of waste feed falls into the waste feed collection box 23, and the lower layer of waste feed falls into the waste feed collection trough 24). The waste feed collected in the waste feed collection box 23 and waste feed collection trough 24 is periodically collected for reuse or proper disposal.
[0033] A scraper 6 is provided on the front side of the feed belt power roller 4, such as Figure 5 As shown, the scraper 6 is located above the descending feed belt; the scraper 6 includes a triangular main body 61, a strip scraper 62 perpendicular to two sides of the main body 61, and a rubber roller scraper 63 perpendicular to the bottom edge of the main body 61. A connecting ear 67 is provided at the bottom corner of the main body 61, and the connecting ear 67 has an assembly hole. During assembly, the main body 61 of the scraper 6 is parallel to the feed belt, and the bottom of the strip scraper 62 contacts the reverse side of the feed belt, while the top edge of the rubber roller scraper 63 contacts the roller surface of the power roller 4. The main body 6 of the scraper 6... Two triangular guide plates 65 are symmetrically arranged on the plate body 61. Both guide plates 65 are sloping, and their bottom edges are fixed to the inner side wall of the rubber roller scraper 63. Their outer edges are fixed to the main plate body 61, and their inner edges are connected to each other. At the two ends of the part where the main plate body 61 connects with the rubber roller scraper 63, there are material drop ports 64. The material drop ports 64 are located outside the bottom corners of the guide plates 65. The top edge of the rubber roller scraper 63 is bent outward by 180° to form an arc scraping surface 66. The part where the material strip scraper 62 connects with the main plate body 61 is an arc scraping surface formed by bending at 90°.
[0034] The connecting lug 67 of the scraper 6 is fastened to the inner wall of the protective cover 30 by bolts. During the feeding process, the feeding belt power roller 4, driven by the drive device, drives the feeding belt to run; the feeding belt drives the feeding belt driven roller 25, brush roller 27 and tension roller 26 to rotate. The scraper 62 of the scraper 6 scrapes off the material and impurities attached to the reverse side of the feeding belt; the top edge of the rubber roller scraper 63 contacts the roller surface of the feeding belt power roller 4, scraping off the material and impurities attached to the roller surface of the feeding belt power roller 4; the brush roller 27 cleans the material attached to the front side of the feeding belt, thereby realizing the automatic cleaning of material and other impurities on the front and back sides of the feeding belt, greatly reducing the workload and frequency of manual cleaning, effectively reducing breeding costs, significantly improving breeding efficiency, making breeding operations more efficient and convenient, and at the same time, effectively ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the feed, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and spread, and providing a solid guarantee for the healthy growth of rabbits.
